Trades are not working in my portfolio. I think I need a refresh
(like another SPY system trade would be nice...).
Reflation/back-to-normal stocks are bust, 'infra' stocks are bust,
alt energy stocks have been killed, EV space is a bust (with the
exception of TSLA, somewhat), energy stocks keep getting sold, meme
stocks (small/mid high tech) and SPAC are dead. One of my dividend
stocks crashed 12% yesterday (wtf..).
What is working? Gold/silver and bond? I don't have those...
Trading in big tech laggards (ones who haven't regained ATH) is
still sort of working but easy money has been made, probably.

Thanks for sharing and want you to know you aren't the only one.
The latest one was getting my ass handed to me courtesey of
MARA. Trade ideas have been for highly skilled traders (with
lots of capital to buy the stocks with tight stops as opposed to
options). It's been hit and run and frankly the trades that
have worked best have been the PAIN trades. The market has
been doing what it does best which is screwing anyone who thinks
they know what they are doing or where the market is going !
Bull or bear you get fucked in this market, where dogecoin goes
stupendously up and Elon Musk tweets "everything to the moon". I'm
thinking not doing anything may be the best course right now but
then Nasdaq futures turns green and FOMO comes back in me.
MARA - if I didn't try to 'trade' and just held on to the share
after I purchased in November last year, I would have nothing to
worry now. MARA at that time was $2.88. I think I sold it at $6 or
so. Ouch.

I had some non precious metals miners end the week strong. Some
REITs and homebuilders have been on a tear but doesn't feel great
time to get an entry into them at the moment for me. Utilities.
Some food/drink consumer staples names that had a sharp 1-2 day
drop end of last week and worked back up this week. Some consumer
discretionary brands

I got knocked around a bit trying to do some of these high
volatility names that had run up a bunch already. Looking at some
slower moving stuff again. Some individual foreign country
ETF's/some emerging markets ETFs also had a decent week.
I'm also keeping an eye on that wedge/consolidation in some
energy names

Thank you! I tend to NOT look up and look around to see what else is happening, and that often results in losing gains unnecessarily.
